"Monday’s usually the hardest day for everybody, but especially for those kids,” she said. “With everything that was happening in Sandy Hook, helping them find peace in mind and body was so important for everyone, including my own son.”

“My goal for Inner Child Yoga is to nurture children to stretch, breathe and grow to their full potential and provide a really fun, healthy and creative curriculum that will give them lifelong tools for relaxation, stress relief, mindfulness, and body awareness. I feel enormous joy helping children discover the power of yoga for their mind and body, allowing them a moment of peace and stillness in such a fast-paced world.”

"Yoga and OT aren’t something that most people just drive around trying to find. But I think we’re in a good position, combining both of those, to attract kids — with or without special needs — and their parents.”

“When we take on children in the one-on-one sessions, the ultimate goal is eventually moving them into a larger group. At the same time we equip them with strategies they can use at home or in school to become centered or to decompress from momentary stressors.”
